Dennis, this is really hilarious. The nerve on you is amazing. That fact that you were 34 makes this great but the fact you don’t remember it makes it even more hilarious. You might have been drunk when you wrote it and drunk when you got the letter I can just imagine your cheeks getting as red as a Habs jersey reading this lately!

I can just picture JB reading it and thinking: The nerve of this guy! 🙂

Martin, I despise the scribbles I see nowadays. If they didn’t include their numbers, we’d have no idea who the player was. Players back then wrote legible, they took their time. Beliveau’s is a perfect example, but most were like him. Hull, Howe, Richard, all of them. For the money players make now, they could at least sign their name so fans could read it.

Dennis it’s too bad Beliveau didn’t return your original letter, I’d love to see how you asked for the tickets.

I see you used to live just a short walk away from Liam Maguire’s. Did you see the new strip of big box stores they’ve built over the old train yards? It wouldn’t have been my first choice, but that area is yet another better spot for Ottawa to have put its hockey arena.
